The end point of a story determines its meaning, and one of the main tasks a writer faces is to define the duration of a plot. Silber uses wide-ranging examples from F. Scott Fitzgerald, Chinua Achebe, and Arundhati Roy, among others, to illustrate five key ways in which time unfolds in fiction. In clear-eyed prose, Silber elucidates a tricky but vital aspect of the art of fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52196846928160,"sku":"NEW1555975305","price":15.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61kSYlDDFEL.jpg?v=1786955395","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-art-of-time-in-fiction-as-long-as-it-takes-1555975305","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
